CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER* macros are defined explicitly and not via
the offsets of the relevant struct clone_args fields, which makes
it rather error-prone, so it probably makes sense to add some
compile-time checks for them (including the one that breaks
on struct clone_args extension as a reminder to add a relevant
size macro and a similar check).  Function copy_clone_args_from_user
seems to be a good place for such checks.

Passing CLONE_INTO_CGROUP with an under-sized structure (that doesn't
properly contain cgroup field) seems like garbage input, especially
considering the fact that fd 0 is a valid descriptor.

Checking that cgroup field value of struct clone_args is less than 0
is useless, as it is defined as unsigned 64-bit integer.  Moreover,
it doesn't catch the situations where its higher bits are lost during
the assignment to the cgroup field of the cgroup field of the internal
struct kernel_clone_args (where it is declared as signed 32-bit
integer), so it is still possible to pass garbage there.  A check
against INT_MAX solves both these issues.

Set -&gt;vm_next and -&gt;vm_prev to NULL to prevent potential misuse from the
new duplicated vma.

Currently, only in fork path there are misuse for handling anon_vma.  No
other bugs been revealed with this patch applied.

Patch series "mm: Fix misuse of parent anon_vma in dup_mmap path".

This patchset fixes the misuse of parenet anon_vma, which mainly caused by
child vma's vm_next and vm_prev are left same as its parent after
duplicate vma.  Finally, code reached parent vma's neighbor by referring
pointer of child vma and executed wrong logic.

The first two patches fix relevant issues, and the third patch sets
vm_next and vm_prev to NULL when duplicate vma to prevent potential misuse
in future.

Effects of the first bug is that causes rmap code to check both parent and
child's page table, although a page couldn't be mapped by both parent and
child, because child vma has WIPEONFORK so all pages mapped by child are
'new' and not relevant to parent.

Effects of the second bug is that the relationship of anon_vma of parent
and child are totallyconvoluted.  It would cause 'son', 'grandson', ...,
etc, to share 'parent' anon_vma, which disobey the design rule of reusing
anon_vma (the rule to be followed is that reusing should among vma of same
process, and vma should not gone through fork).

So, both issues should cause unnecessary rmap walking and have unexpected
complexity.

These two issues would not be directly visible, I used debugging code to
check the anon_vma pointers of parent and child when inspecting the
suspicious implementation of issue #2, then find the problem.

This patch (of 3):

In dup_mmap(), anon_vma_prepare() is called for vma has VM_WIPEONFORK, and
parameter 'tmp' (i.e., the new vma of child) has same -&gt;vm_next and
-&gt;vm_prev as its parent vma.  That allows anon_vma used by parent been
mistakenly shared by child (find_mergeable_anon_vma() will do this reuse
work).

Besides this issue, call anon_vma_prepare() should be avoided because we
don't copy page for this vma.  Preparing anon_vma will be handled during
fault.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Christian extended clone3 so that processes can be spawned into
   cgroups directly.

   This is not only neat in terms of semantics but also avoids grabbing
   the global cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem for migration.

 - Daniel added !root xattr support to cgroupfs.

   Userland already uses xattrs on cgroupfs for bookkeeping. This will
   allow delegated cgroups to support such usages.

 - Prateek tried to make cpuset hotplug handling synchronous but that
   led to possible deadlock scenarios. Reverted.

 - Other minor changes including release_agent_path handling cleanup.

* 'for-5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:

Rename (__)memcg_kmem_(un)charge() into (__)memcg_kmem_(un)charge_page()
to better reflect what they are actually doing:

1) call __memcg_kmem_(un)charge_memcg() to actually charge or uncharge
   the current memcg

2) set or clear the PageKmemcg flag

<title>mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack implementations</title>

<id>8380ce479010f2f779587b462a9b4681934297c3</id>

Depending on CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and the THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE ratio the
space for task stacks can be allocated using __vmalloc_node_range(),
alloc_pages_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node().

In the first and the second cases page-&gt;mem_cgroup pointer is set, but
in the third it's not: memcg membership of a slab page should be
determined using the memcg_from_slab_page() function, which looks at
page-&gt;slab_cache-&gt;memcg_params.memcg .  In this case, using
mod_memcg_page_state() (as in account_kernel_stack()) is incorrect:
page-&gt;mem_cgroup pointer is NULL even for pages charged to a non-root
memory cgroup.

It can lead to kernel_stack per-memcg counters permanently showing 0 on
some architectures (depending on the configuration).

In order to fix it, let's introduce a mod_memcg_obj_state() helper,
which takes a pointer to a kernel object as a first argument, uses
mem_cgroup_from_obj() to get a RCU-protected memcg pointer and calls
mod_memcg_state().  It allows to handle all possible configurations
(CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and various THREAD_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE values) without
spilling any memcg/kmem specifics into fork.c .

Note: This is a special version of the patch created for stable
backports.  It contains code from the following two patches:
  - mm: memcg/slab: introduce mem_cgroup_from_obj()
  - mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack implementations
